My first bars of tallow soap are curing. One three weeks until I can see if it was a success. Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsppdnxpjc82jlm3yn9gawhv7p4nm69a3f80rg5ycw305xned2s0hcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhswy2ckt for the inspiration. I’m too stubborn to pay European import taxes, so I decided to make my own.

Wow cool!!
We European get fucked with the import taxes and high transportation fees, there are so many products I would buy on #nostr but.. 🥲
I feel exactly the same. It’s time we start a peer to peer economy here.
That’s awesome! Nothing beats the stubborn joy of making something with your own hands. Can’t wait to see how your first batch turns out, feels way more satisfying than paying import taxes anyway.
I make my own too. I just buy the tallow straight as beef dripping. But in the new year I'll start buying my beef from a local farmer and ill ask if they do the fat as well.
So closing the circle one item at a time 👍🏻
Yes! I’ve been rendering my own tallow for four years now, have a rancher down the road that also butchers as well. I’ve felt like it’s a bit to precious to use for soap, but my wife has been making soap with olive oil for a bit so I though there would be a good chance of success with her help. 🤞🏼
A month later and it’s cured, I can give my first batch of tallow soap a try. I also just talked to a water buffalo rancher who I can get fat from, so I’ll be making biodynamic water buffalo tallow soap soon.
